How to test a Magento SOAP API call using Postman

Question

Does anyone have a step by step tutorial on how to post and test a soap v1 api call using Postman?

Answer 1

I recommend to use SOAP UI for testing the Magento 1 SOAP API and Postman or Swagger for Magento 2 Rest Calls. With SOAP UI you can import the full WSDL Schema with Basic Example Requests.

Download:

https://www.soapui.org/downloads/soapui.html

How to use Steps:

• Click on SOAP or File > New SOAP Project(Create new SOAP project)
• Fill in a Project Name
• Fill in the wsdl schema url
• Press OK and now the schema will be imported
• Open the schema and go to the login call
• Open the login call and double click on Request 1
• Fill in you username and API key
• Run the API call by pressing the run icon
• Now you will retrieve an API-token which you can use for the other requests

Example of a WSDL schema URL:
